aristotoo/iStock via Getty Images The chart below compares the movement in the US Dollar Index ( DXY ) during Trump 1.0 and so far in Trump 2.0. The adage deeming a picture worth a thousand words is correct for the moment. I will repeat sage advice: No one can predict the future. That said, it appears the market reaction to Trump 2.0 is quite different than it was with Trump 1.0. We discussed that in our extended Sunday missive about CDS and gold. Well, the steepness of the CDS curve corresponds with the steepness of the US Treasury yield curve. This chart shows the US dollar and the US 10-yr T-note yield ( US10Y ). If we used the 30-yr bond yield ( US30Y ), the picture would be even more dramatic. Kotok View I believe that market-based prices are far superior indicators to opinions articulated by talking heads (including me). Opinions and estimates are one thing. Market prices are set by a real money buyer and a real money seller. They may end up wrong, but they are my preferred indicator. The chart speaks for itself. The Trump 2.0 US dollar weakness and corresponding rising US Treasury note yield and bond yield show interest rate pressures brought on by foreign market agents (not US). That dynamic is apparent in the trends we see in the chart. With the present budget outlook deteriorating and the present political behavior in Washington, there is no reason to expect either of these trends to change.

Long-time Bitcoin investors have seen this story before. After every crash comes a record-setting recovery. Yes, the price of Bitcoin (BTC 0.77%) is crashing. It's now down to $70,000. But check again in a few minutes, because it might have dropped even lower. So it's completely understandable why some investors are panicking right now. The one asset that was supposed to turn them into paper millionaires is collapsing in value, and they are racing for the exits. But that would be a mistake. As long as Bitcoin is trading for less than $100,000, it's a screaming buy. The Bitcoin 4-year cycle Long-time crypto investors understand that Bitcoin has always been a cyclical asset following a four-year cycle of boom and bust. The numbers don't lie. Every four years, just like clockwork, the price of Bitcoin has collapsed. Bitcoin sank by 58% in 2014, 74% in 2018, and 64% in 2022. If history is any guide, then, we're just getting started in 2026. Bitcoin may be down 20% for 2026, but it will likely fall even further. During the crypto winter of 2022, Bitcoin sank below $16,000 before finally recovering. And recover it did. From a cyclical low of $16,000 in 2022, Bitcoin rode a wave of investor enthusiasm to hit a price of $126,000 in 2025. That's a sparkling eightfold return on your money. That's why investors should think about loading up on Bitcoin during the current collapse. This might sound contrarian, but it's not. Plenty of high-profile investors are sticking by their future price targets for Bitcoin. Take Cathie Wood of Ark Invest, for example. She's sticking by her $1 million price target for Bitcoin. Is Bitcoin still a scarce asset? Bitcoin has a hard cap of just 21 million coins in circulation, and that was supposed to guarantee its scarcity in perpetuity. It's why Bitcoin has often been referred to as digital gold. Just like physical gold, the supply of Bitcoin is capped at a certain level. As demand for Bitcoin grows over time, its price is supposed to skyrocket....

BP Suspends Buybacks As Energy Major Pivots To "Rebuilding Trust" In Capital Allocation BP Plc shares fell nearly 6% in London trading after the oil and gas giant said its board has suspended share buybacks to allocate excess cash to strengthening the balance sheet and has withdrawn guidance to return 30% to 40% of operating cash flow to shareholders. In an earnings report released earlier, BP said it is suspending share buybacks, ending its $750 million quarterly repurchase program. " The board has decided to suspend the share buyback and fully allocate excess cash to accelerate strengthening of our balance sheet ," the oil and gas giant said, adding, "This creates a strong platform to invest with discipline into our distinctive deep hopper of oil & gas opportunities." The board's move to scrap share buybacks and prioritize balance sheet health makes BP the only top-five oil major without an active repurchase program. CFO Kate Thomson said in an interview that a decision to restart the quarterly repurchase program depends on incoming CEO Meg O'Neill, who takes over in April. BP also withdrew its guidance that shareholder distributions would be around 30% to 40% of operating cash flow and said 2026 spending will come in at the low end of its prior guidance. The fourth quarter capped a volatile year for the company, with shares still languishing and yet to break above their 2023 highs. Tuesday's news sent the stock down about 5.7% in London. Bloomberg noted that in the fourth quarter, activist investor Elliott Investment Management was pushing for drastic change, culminating in Chairman Albert Manifold ousting CEO Murray Auchincloss. The shakeup at BP comes after it pulled back from failed green ventures and refocused BP on its core oil and gas business. The shift was correct, but "increased rigor and diligence are required to make the necessary transformative changes to maximize value for our shareholders," Chairman Manifold told investors in late 2025. Barclays Plc...

Solomon C Thompson III/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Uber Technologies, Inc. ( UBER ) released earnings last week, and while the bottom line results and guidance disappointed the market, management outlined a compelling AV strategy and story, leaving me even more bullish. Despite EPS coming in slightly below expectations, management continues to deliver on their stated targets of growing gross bookings in the high teens or better (22% growth this past quarter) and compounding Adj. EBITDA at a mid-30s clip (35% growth). Investors would be wise to look past short-term EPS and focus on the long-term opportunity in Autonomous Vehicles and on Uber's ability to drive consistent cash flow growth since becoming profitable in 2023. Autonomous Vehicle (AV) Strategy In my last article on Uber , I argued that Uber's platform could achieve a higher utilization rate than the AV companies themselves. And in this most recent update, management confirmed this thesis by showing that AVs on Uber's platform complete 30% more trips per day and do so in much less time than AVs not on Uber's platform. AVs on Uber's platform versus third-party deployments (Uber 2025 Q4 Earnings Presentation) Not only are AVs achieving higher utilization with Uber, but management also illustrated that their hybrid approach can more effectively address variable demand, leading to a seamless customer experience, even during peak times. How Uber's network manages variable demand (Uber 2025 Q4 Earnings Presentation) Uber's fleet of AVs is supplied to satisfy a base level of demand. When demand spikes, the platform has the supply of human drivers to deliver an exceptional customer experience with reduced wait times while also completing more trips. For a first-party AV company to compete on this level, it would have to maintain a much larger fleet, which is less profitable, or, even worse, maintain a smaller fleet and leave customers with long wait times. It's clear that Uber's hybrid strategy is best positi...

TLDR Nvidia stock climbed 2.5% Monday following a 7.9% Friday rally driven by tech company AI spending plans Tech giants expected to spend over $650 billion on capital expenditure in 2026, heavily focused on AI infrastructure Analysts predict OpenAI’s $100 billion fundraising will benefit Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom Stock still faces headwinds from tech rotation, custom chip competition, and memory cost increases February 25 earnings report expected to show 71% EPS growth and 67% revenue increase year-over-year Nvidia shares rose 2.5% Monday, closing at $190.04. The gain extended a strong 7.9% rally from Friday that snapped a five-day decline. NVIDIA Corporation, NVDA The catalyst? Massive capital spending announcements from tech giants. Google parent Alphabet and Amazon led the charge with hefty infrastructure budgets. Big U.S. tech companies are now projected to exceed $650 billion in capital expenditure for 2026. Most of that money will flow toward AI infrastructure buildout. Capital Spending Wave Benefits Chip Makers William Blair analyst Sebastien Naji sees Nvidia as a prime beneficiary. “The massive step-up in capex now expected in 2026 is likely to greatly benefit merchant accelerator providers like Nvidia,” he wrote. Despite the recent gains, Nvidia shares remain barely positive for 2026. The stock has battled multiple headwinds in recent weeks. Investor rotation away from technology stocks has pressured shares. Questions about OpenAI’s spending sustainability have also created uncertainty. The rise of custom AI chips threatens Nvidia’s market dominance. Rising memory component costs add another layer of concern for investors. OpenAI Fundraising Could Shift Sentiment D.A. Davidson analysts believe OpenAI’s planned fundraising could reverse some bearish sentiment. The ChatGPT developer aims to raise up to $100 billion. “We expect that as investors go back to seeing OpenAI as a winner, the public companies in its orbit could re-rate considerably,” analyst Gil Lu...

Asean faces a challenge to remain relevant in light of an increasingly transactional United States under the Donald Trump administration, observers warn, even as they hail the bloc’s large inflows of trade from global superpowers. At the South China Morning Post’s China Conference: Southeast Asia 2026 in Jakarta on Tuesday, chairman of Malaysian Investment Development Authority Tengku Zafrul Aziz said that Association of Southeast Asian Nations members presented a united front in handling Trump ’s “Liberation Day” tariffs last May, calling it a “test of Asean centrality”. Zafrul, who was Malaysia’s trade and investment minister at the time, recalled how Asean economic ministers discussed how they would respond and agreed they would state they were not in support of the unilateral decision, that they would support multilateralism and that they would engage the US. Advertisement “That shows that sometimes it is difficult … but still, we address by engaging,” he said, adding that the success of Asean as a result of the economic spillover of the bloc being united should also not be taken for granted. The superpowers are still investing in Asean Bernardino Moningka Vega, Kadin vice-chairman of foreign affairs In a separate panel, Bernardino Moningka Vega, vice-chairman of foreign affairs at the Indonesia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin Indonesia), said that amid a turbulent geopolitical landscape last year, the US remained Asean’s top investor while China came in second.

Bankers are drumming up interest for as much as €6.5 billion ($7.7 billion) of financing to back the potential sale of a majority stake in Volkswagen AG ’s heavy diesel-engine unit Everllence SE. A so-called lender education process is underway with a number of banks that could finance potential bids alongside some working capital, according to people familiar with the situation who asked not to be identified because the matter is private. The automaker is working with Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. on the divestment of the unit, which could be valued at more than €5 billion, Bloomberg reported previously. With first-round bids due shortly, bankers are trying to work out how to finance a deal. The sale would be the second multi-billion euro industrial carveout in Germany this year as large corporations increasingly focus on their core operations. In a highly-anticipated deal, bankers are currently assembling debt packages of around €2.5 billion to back an acquisition of Continental AG ’s industrial ContiTech unit. Potential lenders will get an early look at the Everllence unit, which makes ship engines and power-plant turbines, because the company needs to lock in hefty borrowing lines. Such undrawn facilities are generally unpopular as they weigh on banks’ balance sheets. With the unit needing around €2 billion of guarantee and revolving credit facilities, any buyer will need to divvy that up among a large number of lenders. The benefit of these facilities is that they usually provide an easy route into underwriting the more attractive parts of the buyout financing — which generate some of the most lucrative fees in investment banking. The financing is set to comprise around €3.5 billion to €4.5 billion of drawn facilities, the people said. That equates to around 4.5 times to 6 times the firm’s approximate €750 million earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, depending on whether an all-senior financing is used or senior fi...

Arne Slot has said it would be unacceptable for Liverpool not to qualify for the Champions League and that this season has been the toughest of his managerial career “by a mile”. The Premier League champions lie sixth, five points off fourth place, although fifth is likely to yield a Champions League spot. Liverpool, who spent almost £450m on players last summer, are heavily reliant on Champions League income for their business model but have won once in seven league games before Wednesday’s visit to Sunderland. Slot said: “If we don’t have Champions League football, it’s definitely not been an acceptable season.” The head coach added: “When I arrived here we could only sign Federico Chiesa and that was after a Europa League season. That does have an enormous impact on the way this club is run, that is clear. We are completely aware.” Slot has faced a wide range of issues this season but believes his team can achieve “something special” in the Champions League and FA Cup. But he accepted the campaign had been the hardest of his 10 years as a coach. “By a mile,” he said. “Because all the other seasons I’ve managed there were only positives. I don’t think I’d ever lost two games in a row, so it’s an exception this season for me as it is for the players. The players are not used to losing a lot or having a lot of draws. I’m not used to that as well. So, yes, this season has been more challenging for me but you also take nice things out of it – that might sound weird – because I also look at how much improvement we are making. “In my opinion, everyone is now able to play every three days at an intensity level that is needed at this club and, as a result of that, I think our performances are much better than they were in the period at the start of the season when we started playing a double programme.” Liverpool could be without four right-back options at the Stadium of Light with Dominik Szoboszlai suspended after his red card against Manchester City.
